PREFACE 

TO THE FOURTH EDITION. 



The great success which Ahn's German Primer has 
within a short period attained, has stimulated the Editor to 
strive by all means in his power to render this new edition still 
more deserving of public favor. 

The book in its present form offers advantages, some 
altogether new and others undoubted improvements, over all 
preceding editions, and such as are not to be found in any 
similar publication. 

Seeming difficulties very commonly prove as substantial 
obstacles as real ones; and the formation of German printed 
and written characters is one of this class of difficulties, that 
besets a beginner in the study- of German. The perplexity is 
not diminished when the pupil first encounters these characters 
in types only a little larger than those in general use. For 
this reason, the Letters of the Alphabet, both printed and 
written, are here presented on an unusually large scale, so 
that the eye cannot fail to trace their true formation. 

On the same principle, the German Script throughout is 
larger-faced than formerly, and it is now so clear and neat 
that nothing is wanting to its distinctness. 

Important additions and amendments have been introduced 
into the text ; and a Vocabulary is given of all German words, 
exactly as they occur, and demanding no previous grammatical 
training in the pupil. So complete and thorough has been the 



revision of the work, that while it retains all former excel- 
lencies, its many improved features make it almost new ; at the 
same time the book has not been so much enlarged as to ex- 
ceed reasonable limits. It still claims to be perspicuous and 
concise, avoiding the dilfuseness of a too elaborate treatise. 

Ahn's German Primer, by the simplest rules and grada- 
tions, fixes the principles of German Pronunciation in the mind. 
Simultaneously it imparts, by the easiest degrees, the rudi- 
ments of grammar ; while judiciously progressive Reading 
Exercises familiarize the pupil with a multitude of words in 
every day use. 

The Editor has kept steadily in view his original aim to 
make Ahn's German Primer the easiest introduction to a 
language now so much studied ; and he sincerely believes that 
the present edition will most materially facilitate the study of 
German in Primary Classes, or wherever in this country 
German is taught. 

New York, July 1872.
